There are thousand and one thing u can pick out not to ride a phamton but only one will make u ride one..that is.... your love for it......

 

Just ask yourself...if u like something, would u have made up so many questions? Thats human nature

 

In truth..i can tell u u will not regret in having ride a phantom now or before. :thumb:

ngky7: Trust ur own views. It's e rider's style n mentality, not e bike. Join us in our outings n c e PK's style. Cheers!

 

mercurius: Would advise u to enquire from fusionzone 1st. Met n noe him thru outings, would say he's a great n reliable seller n riding buddy. =D Btw for LAB, an alarm would cost SGD100+/- incl installation. Gd luck in ur search!

Hmm.. Recently I tried a chainlube given to me by one of my friends.. He says just spray about once a week and so I did. When I sprayed the chainlube on my chain, there was some white substance.. I tot it was fine and so i continue to spray until my whole chain got mixture of grease and that white substance..

 

I told my friend about this white mixture and he said it is normal.. The next day, I rode my bike.. After i got off my bike, i checked my bike again.. True enough, the white substance was gone.. But my friend told me to spray the whole chain! The side of my chain is stained with this white substance.. Out of curiousity, i sprayed abit of the chainlube on the ground and i examined myself about what the white substance is all about.. When i sprayed out, it was a mixture of a colourless and white substance.. The colourless substance feels slippery.. I examined the white substance.. It feels sticky and finally i understood that this white substance is used to stick the lube on my chain.. It is very effective.. I rode in the rain, hoping that the rain will help to wash my chain.. Result is it does wash off abit but the bulk of tat substance is still on the sides of my chain!

 

Here comes the question: Am I using the correct method to lube my chain? Is this white sticky substance harmful to my chain? Always heard pple say must lube the whole chain.. Now i got myself into this mess.. Am I at fault, or izzit the lube at fault? Pls advice.. Thank you..

I think u might be using chain wax instead of lube.

:help:

just clutch in, downshift to 1st gear, start & go. No need to find neutral.

[Kevs]

Pls try not to use engine brakes on our little cc's bike. It'll give you a major problem dwn è road.

 

Fast electric startin? As Kiamh stated, jus clutch in, irregardless of wat gear you are in, & press start button.

 

Now for my Qn:

Does anyone noes what is S4's signal light condenser's Wattage?

Can it be fitten onto a TA200?

OR, Which bike's or aftermarket's signal light condenser can accomodate more than 30W?

 

Pardon me my straightforward qns, cos its hard to explain in words.

Hopefully someone can help me.

But we were taught to use engine brake in school

 

What kinda problems will i experience

[arjen]

Engine Brake will wear you clutchplate slightly faster, especially when you are half clutching, thats the point of time when your clutchplate bites the most
